Furniture transport can be difficult. Unwieldy items requiring a team of movers to navigate around tight stair cases up three stories. With this in mind it makes sense to dismantle furniture if possible, this helps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Long gone are the days of flat pack furniture having the reputation of being cheap and flimsy. Most flat pack \/ self-assembly items are created that way to enable customers to transport their furniture home from the store or to provide easier delivery options. As it was delivered to you like this taking it apart for removal or transport helps do the same thing. Here\u2019s a few easy tips to make it simple and stress free:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know I have a draw somewhere in my house full of old instructions and left over (hopefully not needed) screws and bolts. The chances are slim however I\u2019d have the right one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many good furniture providers keep PDF copies on their websites, IKEA have a very helpful page designed exactly for this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IKEA Manuals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If the retailer doesn\u2019t then contact them, it just may be a case it isn\u2019t on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its important to reverse the steps from construction, the route to building the item was to ensure you don\u2019t break it halfway through. Most self-built furniture is designed to be ridged and sturdy when all bolts and screws are fastened. During the construction or de-construction certain parts may be put under stress and break if not done correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most important things to follow are the recommendations, if it says it\u2019s a two-person job, get another person to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s easy enough to think you\u2019ll remember how you did it when taking something part, but believe me, it\u2019s easy to think and hard to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take photos, both of the furniture in one piece and of all the bolts and screws before and after removal. Also, mark adjoining holes (where possible on the back or bases of items) with a felt tip or marker so you’ll know which bit went where.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taking apart internal draws or trays is really kind of pointless, they are normally small enough to handle individually. They\u2019re also often the most intricate bits to undo and do up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Put all the screws, bolts, plastic caps and other bits in a sturdy bag or small box, also make sure its labelled what they are for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not advisable in most cases to leave the bolts or screws in place, this often leaves them sticking out and could damage the furniture during transport or hurt ankles whilst lifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Extra tip \u2013 if you break any bits during dismantling (many smaller plastic parts are not really designed to be used again and again) IKEA have a parts replacement service here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n IK<\/a>EA Missing bits<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll remember how much cardboard you had to take to the tip when you first bought the furniture, it often seems bigger than the finished product when you\u2019re done. But all this cardboard was to protect your stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it\u2019s part of a house move then wrap bedding around them too, this helps protect the items and move your bedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So unbolted and packed. Now get quotes for furniture transport, you\u2019ve just made the job easier and cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go to Delivery Quote Compares home page, (just click at the top of the page) follow the easy links to furniture transport and then enter the (smaller) size of the furniture and request free quotes.
